I need another excuse for the Navigator picture. It does not look good for Kwame Kilpatrick. Mayor Navigator, the incumbent, finished with only 33%, and Freman Hendrix had 45% as a challenger. Hendrix would have my support, and not based on ideology, but on administrative issues.
Freman Hendrix 45%
Kwame Kilpatrick 33%
Sharon McPhail 12%
Hansen Clarke 9%
Over in Lansing - Tony Benevides is in the fight of his life with Virg Bernero.
1,158 - Dale Abronowitz
3,519 - Tony Benavides
6,042 - Virg Bernero
2,540 - Lynne Martinez
What makes it interesting is that Virg Bernero is a state senator. If he becomes mayor, he resigns his state senate position and creates an open seat with special elections. While his district is strongly democrat since it has most of Ingham County, Paul DeWeese held Virg to 53% back in 2002 in one of Granholm's strongest areas. Anything can happen in special elections with its low turnout, and if the GOP has a good GOTV effort, we could steal a district.
